People are used to adding collagen to rejuvenate the body, but here the opposite is true.
Our arteries literally age as we age. And this is not even related to atherosclerosis. It's just that the vascular wall thickens and becomes stiff. From this, blood pressure will be higher, and different organs will be less well supplied with blood.
Inside our arteries there is a protein called elastin. It is literally stretchy and stretchable well. We have already discussed this trick in history. about useful high pressure.
So this elastin inside our arteries has a limited shelf life. Its half-life is approximately 40 years.
We are accustomed to being made up of cells that divide, grow, die and are replaced by new ones. But the elastin in our arteries is not part of the cells. This is the outer framework between the cells, which was laid before birth, then grew and froze in the same state.
Like any material, this elastin is aging. Its properties will change, it will fall apart and be replaced by collagen. It is rather a scar that does not stretch.
It turns out that our arteries are like water pipes that have been wrapped with electrical tape on the outside for decades, and inside of which scale builds up. They are thick and brittle.
If a person has high blood pressure, he eats salty and does not monitor cholesterol in the blood, then the arteries will deteriorate much faster.
Has it ever occurred to you that the materials from which we are made have an expiration date? Well, at least turn inside out and bathe in a healthy lifestyle, but all the same, the elastin, laid down in the womb, in 40 years will fall apart by half.
